Rewrite category wordpress

Question

Is it possible to rewrite only one category ?

I have a category "Photos" and just for this category.

I just want to rewrite it from /category/photos to /photos

Answer 1

You can do it with WP Rewrite API. Add this to functions.php

add_action('init', 'register_rewrites');
function register_rewrites() {
   add_rewrite_rule('^photos$', 'index.php?category_name=photos','top');
}

Remember to reload your rewrite settings: go to Settings -> Permalinks and click on Save button - no changes needed.
